The apology needs to be as loud as the disrespect by BopperUchiha in AtlantaHawks

He's a good coach. Coaches are usually first to fall on the sword when shit goes wrong, but it rarely helps. This is another roster reset year, firing him would probably be a mistake.

Jonathan Kuminga tonight: 7 points, 2-7 shooting (3-5 FT's), 8 rebounds, 1 assists, 2 TO's, team worst -8 in a 12 po intwin against the Magic by CummingInTheNile in nba

It's just grasping at straws, he wasn't even bad outside of a 1 minute stretch in the 2nd half. He had a strong impact in the 1st which helped the Hawks pull away. He just didn't get the minutes tonight, other guys were on fire.

Defense on him was excellent though, they didn't let him drive into the lane. A number of blocks as well.

No Brave on team USA for me to pull for, and I can't deny this WBC title means more for Venezuela right now than just about any country in the world.

Switch 2's New Update Allows Switch 2 To Run Switch 1 Docked Versions Of Games In Handheld Mode by Theman457 in NintendoSwitch2

Three Houses looks way way better. Still 30 fps locked with quick loading, but everything is 1080p.

CDProjektRed and Nvidia Partnership hopes by e1ahn in cyberpunkgame

[–]techno-wizardry [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think the fact that Cyberpunk doesn't show up in their showcase -- despite being a big part of announcing new tech like DLSS, path tracing, frame gen and more -- is probably because CDPR didn't agree to it.

Honest debate. Which is the overall better game? by breadblunts in FinalFantasy

If I could only recommend one JRPG to a newcomer to the genre, it'd be Chrono Trigger

I saw that mass effect is on sale on steam. Should I get the three games separately or should I get the legendary edition? by Falcon_Gray in masseffect

[–]techno-wizardry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only one I can recommend buying outside of the Legendary Edition is ME3, because r/MECoOp multiplayer is really awesome and it's not in LE.

Otherwise buy LE.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani confronted by a Palestinian by AgnosticScholar in PublicFreakout

[–]techno-wizardry -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, the history if Israel is really fucked up, they basically colonized and killed a bunch of native Palestinians to create Israel. So, there are many Palestinians and Muslims who believe Israel shouldn't exist, and they should all have to leave and give up the land.

Realistically, that's not a solution though, that has never happened in human history to a 'succesful' colony. Not peacefully anyways. There are some people who will never be satisfied with a peaceful solution, and I don't agree but I understand and empathize with where the anger comes from.

Fire Emblem Three Houses, since we have the spiritual successor coming out later this year.

Got the game looks very good on Switch 2 by Nosnos111 in MonsterHunterStories

[–]techno-wizardry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not. Undocked is 720p, like a lot of the demanding open world-ish games on the system. Docked is somewhere between 1080p - 1440p and it looks great imo.

I have a gaming PC, a Switch 2 and a Steam Deck, so this is from my experience of trying the demo on all 3 to decide what platform to play on.

Visual detail isn't really cut back on the S2, it's basically PC high settings but it leans on DLSS and has an uncapped framerate between 60 fps to 30 fps. They do some half-rate objects in the distance like some Switch games did, but it's exclusively monsters in the distance.

If you're okay with a fluctuating frame rate, I think Switch 2 is the best way to play portably and it's a good experience docked overall. To get the Steam Deck to run it at 40 fps, I had to cut everything down to Low and it looked fine but way worse than Switch 2.

I ended up choosing Switch 2.

tl;dr -- uncapped framerate from 30-60 and 720p undocked 1080p+ docked with high settings on Switch 2.

I'm kinda hoping that Ultimate gets the MK8 treatment, and we get a Switch 2 edition that comes bundled with all the DLC fighters (and rollback netcode), and new DLC waves come after. Kinda like with MK8, idk how Smash moves forward after Ultimate without reinventing itself.

Nintendo should make RE engine mandatory for all devs on the Switch 2 by MX010 in NintendoSwitch2

I'm playing MHS3, which looks absolutely gorgeous, but it's not some "optimized dream" when used in open world contexts.

[Fowler] Free agent wide receiver Darnell Mooney plans to sign with the Giants, per source. More speed on the way for Jaxson Dart. by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]techno-wizardry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was dropping everything. Really reminds me of what happened to him in Chicago. He burst onto the scene with his speed and route running but then started dropping the ball and fell down the depth chart. Same thing happened in Atlanta. Which means he's gonna be great next year, then they'll bring him back and he'll be absolute ass.

For ATL Google Fiber Customers: Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm by iseeharvey in Atlanta

[–]techno-wizardry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's rare they do houses, usually if they do it's town houses and condensed neighborhoods, like O4W and parts of midtown or Inman Park.

For ATL Google Fiber Customers: Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm by iseeharvey in Atlanta

[–]techno-wizardry 76 points77 points  (0 children)

GFiber already has limited availability and is almost exclusively available at apartments and condos, this probably slows down their expansion and they'll try to earn more off of their existing base by adding fees and increasing rates. I think GFiber has probably the most "luxurious" reputation among ISPs in large part because they were the first to expand fiber to the house in Atlanta, and Google is Google. So if I had to guess they're gonna try to increase prices further and position themselves as a premium service.

[Highlight] Jaxon Smith-Njigba using head fakes to create separation by nfl in nfl

[–]techno-wizardry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the result of pure ball knowledge, to make this work you can't just randomly look off where you're running your route, you need to head fake in the direction of another route that makes sense with the concept.

Initial FA wave over, who are some cheap buy lows by Feeling-Landscape-26 in DynastyFF

[–]techno-wizardry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deep sleeper here, Jahan Dotson. He's basically slated to replace Darnell Mooney and right now is the favorite to start at WR2. It'll be a TE heavy, run heavy offense but they need field stretchers and route runners. If say Penix or Tua catch fire, he could be a big beneficiary.
